I have complained enough about life. I guess I'm not unlike others when I do so, and many might find my complaints well justified. I feel disappointed when I lose a customer. I feel frustrated when my development team takes forever to complete a critical task. I worry about managing cashflow. I get mighty pissed when my laptop or phone stops working. I get frustrated when I see general deterioration in the society around - commercialization of education & healthcare, loss of civic sense, what not!
Yet lately I feel I'm being quite stupid when I complain or feel disappointed. I feel I am the last person on earth who has the right to complain. Cuz I have everything I need to be happy.
I have a wonderful family, which loves me infinitely. All my loved ones have been gifted with the best of health and abilities. I myself have been given a fit mind and body; I can't even imagine the plight of people who cannot take that for granted. I have been given sufficient wealth, education, social respect, and guidance to use as a platform for my career, for my company. At Peach, I have a team full of really smart people, who work like crazy for me. I've even been given some decent successes, so that I can feel proud and confident of my own self. All I need to do now is make efforts. And I should do that with confidence, because time and again, I've been shown that making efforts is sufficient for success.
I have thus resolved to be happy. Every time I feel sad or disappointed, I will think of my countless gifts, including my own abilities. And I will put in sincere efforts to use all my energy in creative ways, brightening the world around me. I have the power to bring smiles on the faces of my loved ones, of the people who work with me, of even strangers. I have the ability to apply my professional knowledge to make products that can touch countless lives positively. I have all it takes to set good examples, through myself and my creations, and even that may suffice to begin a meaningful change. Why waste a minute being sad, when life's so good? :)
Why cant people have a look around and see the sufferings that other people are going through. Why waste your life complaining about things when you can enjoy every moment of it with what you have
ReplyDeleteI agree. I read somewhere, that a person lying on a hospital bed will give everything to see a day in the open world with normal health - for him, every person, rich or poor, is far luckier and happier. Yet we don't realize it, and instead of counting our blessings, we desperately look for reasons to worry. Changing that attitude can change the world for us! :)
